[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1978983, member: 26077"] All this chamber casting is a waste of time just to find the neck measurement. Chamber casts have to be done just right and measured at exactly the right time and temp or your sizes will be off significantly. A fired case is your best chamber cast. You have fired Norma cases that measure .314 after shooting them, brass spring back will not be more than .001, and your new brass loaded is .314. That is not enough clearance in my opinion for a hunting rifle. Send the brass back and go back to Norma or turn the Peterson brass. Loaded it should be no more than .312 for your gun. [/QUOTE]
